Hi,

maybe this would be asked in past, but I am not able to find an answer. (maybe due the lack of language) ... if someone speak german 😅 I would be thankful for an answer or a tiny bit help.

I am a Poser User and I was wondering, is it possible to transfer a map from G8F to V4? If I am searching I got the opposite of this... V4 map on Genesis and up... but is it possible to go from the new figures to the old? 

Lately I was able to find my DAZ content in DAZ Studio (😅🤣🥳) I brought a nice Texture for G8F and would really like it for my V4 in Poser... I am just asking if there is a easier way than copy and paste with Photoshop.

Thank you very much and sorry if this was asked earlier. 😵‍💫 And I was unsure where to post this... on DAZ or on Poser.

It is complicated by the fact that the division of the model into materials is not the same, so there are areas of victoria 4 that take parts of two separate maps from Genesis 8. This isn't just a matter of different polygons, the avaialble edges for defining different materials don't line up. In Daz Studio that is handled with GeoGrafts, patches of mesh applied to the base figure that have suitable splits so that the non-overlapping areas of the figure can simply take the maps 9using a nwe UV set) while the grafts handle the areas that need distinct maps, and put extra divisions in the right place. Poser doesn't have a graft equivalent, and i don't think it easily swaps UVs, so the reverse isn't really possible.

What you could do is create a new mesh in a modelling aplication that was the shape of Genesis 8 or victoria 4, but mapped and with surface divisions like the other figure. Apply the maps to be converted to the Gensis 8-mapped item, then bake them to new maps on the Victoria 4-mapped figure. You could then save those out and use them on Victoria 4 in Poser. Unfortunately this isn't a job others could do for you as it would involve distributing derivative mesh and/or derivative textures in a way not covered by the Daz (for models, and textures from Daz) or (for textures) other store licenses.

Thank you very much for your Explanation :) This was good for me to understand. .. hm... so I have no chance to transfer it the easy way but using Photoshop.
